Where we are

Les Sarziers is located in the north of the Ardèche, the Ardèche Verte, between two small villages, Arlebosc and Empurany, five miles from Lamastre in the hills to the west of the Rhone valley.  The closest major town is Valence, around fifty minutes away. 

This area is special for many reasons.  Away from the tourist track, it has retained its rural authenticity and peacefulness to an unusual degree.  The range of flora and fauna is extraordinary, and the local people are exceptionally friendly and proud of their region, which they call midi moins le quart - not quite Provence but already the south.
